  • I sound so emo on here, which is terribly lame. I'd like to mention that I'm not, in fact, all that angsty, this is just the outlet I need. I've given up trying to talk even with my best friend about this stuff - it's boring for her, and it's basically better for me to be able to ramble about it whenever I want to. Youth group was terribly fun tonight - the worship was incredible, first of all. I think most of the band was actually worshipping, something we need to be doing more of. We lead worship, but half the time we don't worship ourselves. We're working on that. The guy was just hilarious tonight, as well. When he came, he seemed just a bit down, I guess. By the end of the night, he was back to his regular, crazy self. I just love his personality - he's so playful when the circumstances are semi-appropriate. Last night he somehow managed to get Wes (the most athletic of our small bunch) literally diving through a rolling hula-hoop. And Wes managed to do it perfectly several times, miraculously. Then he finagled Erich (one of the twins in the band) to do an Ong-Bak straight jump through two hula-hoops, and kept spacing them further and further apart until Erich decided enough was enough. It was hilarious. Then he tried, and was sliding all over the floor. I'll ask both him and Wes about rug burns tonight. And then Rebecca, Alyssa and I sat in a row and made comments while waiting for the other Rachel to tell Erich that she likes him. None of us approve of her telling him, but she and the other girl that likes Erich made a pact. If Rachel didn't tell him, Kristen was going to tell him that she liked him. So it was inevitable. But then she didn't do it! So Alyssa came up to me while Rachel was standing next to me a few minutes after our circle broke up and says (loudly), "I hate wasted opportunities." Then she sighs at me, and we both started laughing like we were mad. Rachel just gave us this look . . . I love my youth group, but it is going to seem empty when the guy leaves. He's going to "pursue other ministry opportunities," whatever that means. His being all serious about it makes me wonder. I love how sometimes, youth group just feels so intimate and warm. Last night was the best example - it was great to connect with Alyssa a bit, as she's normally pretty quiet. And then hanging out and laughing in that small, loving group was so fulfilling. Watching the guy and laughing with him was great as well.
